old reddit was the last straw, new reddit is the most unusable jeeted slopshit I've ever seen among all user interfaces on the web. It's clearly deliberate, they serve up ads every 4 posts and there are way more trackers and botnet js running in the page. Reddit is only doing this because they know that we have no alternative. But why? No one wants to step up?I'm done bros. I'm not going to mention which sites I use because they will be turned into reddit, but that number keeps getting smaller and smaller.
>>109706499There are loads of alternatives. Thats not the issue, ever. It's convincing everyone or a majority to move to a platform their friends are not on and that they do not yet have karma-crap. Simple as.
>>109706499Wasnt reddit the original alternative to Digg and then the creator of reddit suicided himself?
>>109706499You need to be 18 or older to post in this board.There's plenty of alternatives, the problem is you want the normalfags to swap, and they won't. Go back to the normalfags.
>>109706499Bring back independent, stand alone forums!
doesn’t really matter because open communities are dying, they can’t handle the bors and shills issuesreddit will be dead in a few years just like 4chan pretty much is
the reddit mod question really needs an answer
>>109706528*bots, not bors
>>109706499What's wrong with reddit?
Digg tried and it was a massive fail. I had two communities there and was trying to get them traffic. Wasn't happening. People are hopelessly addicted to reddit. They could start charging $60/mo to post and people would bitch and moan for a few days and then pay up like the little fucking paypigs they are. Their stock would skyrocket overnight. There is no hope.
>>109706531pretty much every mod on reddit is a mod to push their own agendawhen was r/comics about comics and r/pics about pics? it’s just political tranny bullshit at this point
>>109706499Reddit solved more of my issues and question than 4chan - /g/.I use Reddit for actual information/help, I use 4chan - /g/ for shitposting.This website is just a downwards line on 4stats and is only to be used for shitposting, also youre a faggot.
>>109706499Unironically because Reddit was captured by glowies years ago and they need to keep it propped up.
>>109706561ai replaced reddit for me
>>109706499Did you try twitter or 4chan? They're pretty good.
>>109706561You're confusing two different things. The users, who actually contribute everything of value on reddit.com. And the jews and indian hindu invaders hired by Reddit, Inc. who are parasites that live off this value created by users for free.
>>109706499>this is the most cited source for most data scrapers>almost all the good posts are 10+ years old
>>109706552the state of /r/comics is entirely from one person, merari, who is an unemployed 50 year old gay guy from sweden living on welfare to complain about trump all day
>>109706552It's even worse than that. You have India censoring everything negative about their country by using both anonymous mods and the actual Reddit H-1B indian employees. Mods are also taking money in exchange for allowing sites to get posted, or taking money from political groups to shill their agenda. Reddit should have been shut down by the government a long time ago.
The more broad the topic, the more likely it is to be a board with toxic and deranged moderators.
>>109706499The problem isn't the place it's the people. I don't want to talk to these faggots anywhere. They're here too, and making somewhere else for them to go won't change anything.
>>109706499>Why the FUCK hasn't anyone made an alternative to this piece of shit yet?you're on it.doesn't matter. you can't get rid of indians and bots. pandoras box is opened.
it's bots shills and jeets all the way down. the western internet has fallen.
>>109706830Getting rid of bots on small to medium platforms is easy. Once a platform gets big there is financial incentive to get around any blocks and that needs to also be countered with financial resources and incentives and that assumes that platform has not made shady deals with specific botters.
>>109706886This but unironically. You can look up the internet demographics. At any given time, you are 6 times more likely to be talking to an Indian larping as white, than to an American white. But even worse is the fact that Indians have been getting 80% of all H-1B visas for decades, which gives them the power to completely censor and dictate who gets to post what on our "American" tech companies. The end result of that is every sane person who hates Indian/Hindu barbarism gets banned from twitter/reddit/youtube/etc and all that's left are the hindpoo invaders themselves, jews, and a handful of zoomers who don't realize they're not talking to humans.
Why hasn't Steemit taken off? It's been around for ages.
>>109706830Yes we can get rid of Indians. Here is the answer. We need more advanced tech, like photonic interconnects, 3D die stacks, and silicon replacement for a 100x compute increase over regular GPUs per watt of power. Then we sandbox India with an AI datacenter that just pretends to be the rest the internet while physically severing their whole region off from communicating with the outside world.
>>109706917>This but unironicallyi wasn't being ironic
>>109706993can't we just cut their wires?
>>109706499Reddit was early so it got the monopoly on topic agnosticism. Every clone of it's been people fixated on a singular topic.>>109706516Those events weren't related, but yes. Digg had the colorful bubbly late 2000's design while reddit looked like something out of the 90's, but the UI was better for having discussion. So reddit was slowly picking up users. Then digg nerfed their own website causing all the users to switch to reddit all at once.
>>109707011I think only works if the entire world's population is in on it and in agreement of not letting a single one into their borders. Distracting them with a fake internet where they can't reach real internet should help significantly reduce the intensity of poo online. Keep in mind that it's a) a growing economy where most Indians are yet to be online so it'll only get worse and b) India has the or one of the lowest % of their population that have ever been overseas in their life... Something like 3%. Imagine if that hits 15%. 5x more Indians overseas
>>109706919>Why hasn't steaming upper decker taken offI wonder why, interesting name choice
>>109707069https://x.com/amandalouise416/status/1929362235048231402It's already happening, that's why it's such a problem that they can ban/censor anyone who mentions their numbers on Reddit, Twitter, and anywhere else that has an H-1B jannie infestation. Literally a human extinction level threat. In a few more years they'll be doing to our bioweapons labs and nuclear reactors what they did to Microsoft and the rest of our tech companies.
>>109706552>it’s just political tranny bullshit at this pointSo like this place all thanks to Americans their 2016 election?
>>109706499https://plebbit.com/home
>>109706499>he uses retardditdeserved
>>109706499You're on it pal.
Getting users is hard
>>109706499You can't build longevity around mass AI and bot use. You're building for adware but it's a dying revenue stream if you don't get real user engagement. Welcome to the slopnet.
>>109707319Getting users hard is
>>109706499Vibe one out—AI makes this trivial.
>>109706499There are plenty of alternatives already.You don't know about them because you're retarded.You are clueless and doesn't have idea about the things happening around you until those things personally affect you.
>>109707139Yeah, 2016 really created an overdrive of tranny infections into everything. Completely unavoidable. You couldn't buy food on pride month without seeing the flag, for years.
>>109706543>>109706513>>109706499It's more than simple user preference or reluctance to change. Reddit posts have been pushed to the top of google search results for years which massively boosts activity and constantly brings new users. They've had deals with google for years that have kept them alive so long. A direct competitor could never replace them because they wouldn't have google funnelling traffic their way. Otherwise one of the 100 direct competitors that have come and gone would have replaced them by now.
>>109706499The site is full of bots and bitter leftist troons these days. I had a throwaway account that I used to ask random shit and I made a post complaining about dodgy researchers on prolific, I got hit with the typical smug bootlicking leddit responses. The Prolific Ai support is even more helpful than these wastes of space combined and I'm never returning to that site again
>>109706499Why would you make an alternative shit? Doesn't make sense
>>109706917the crazy part about this chart is that the 300 million marker for the united states IS the entire population. every single american.the 6.5 million marker is only 10% of india.
https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternativesThere's a subreddit for that
>>109706499Any form of social media is destined for the same fate, including this website. In the past, the internet was gatekept by the need for an income to afford a computer and the technical knowledge to actually use it. Invite-only forums are basically the only places on the internet that are immune to the massive influx of low-quality stock. Reminder to gatekeep your hobbies.
>>109707868But anon the servers should be run for free, just for the love of the game. Any commercialism is cancer.
>>109706499maybe i am unclear on what your complaint is exactly because I don't go to reddit other than: to go read some pitty party mutual support group fluff, witness feckless whining that makes me feel better about whatever I wanted to hear somebody whine about, or to read hilariously wrong answers and ass-backwards advice exchanged between larpers.so what's the issue?
>>109706499>does anybody know a better technique for getting the shit stains out of my briefs without washing them twice?>I feel guilty about using so much water to wash out my shit stains but the shit stains keep compounding until I can't tell the difference between the shit stains and fresh shit.
>>109706516>creator of reddit suicided himselfSadly the creators proper, Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian, are both still alive, but Aaron Swarz, who founded another YC startup, Infogami, which merged with reddit (on the condition he get a cofounder title) did kill himself, and Swarz seemed like a pretty decent guy.
>>109706499reddit would be usable if post history couldnt be hidden, old.reddit came back without login, and if the culture was less updoot downdoot focused. the frontpage is a particularly bad look too, it feels like there is one or two gender war posts, a post celebrating violence, marvel, and something politics related, also dashcams.
>>109707868>SUCH AS?????There were at least a dozen over the years, voat was just one. Saidit and ruqqus are the other ones I remember. There is also one that still exists called Scored
>>109707069>>109707113wow. i just got dizzy.
>>109707975op is complaining specifically about the old vs new designs of reddit (the 'new' is relative in this case, it has been the default UI of the site for many years now at this point). The old, original design is much lighter weight, much faster to load, much less cluttered, and just generally better and easier to use so a lot of people who have been around long enough to know it even exists still use the old reddit design via going to old.reddit.com or by changing a setting in their account settings.The issue is reddit recently made it so that you needed to be logged in to use old reddit, so going to say, old.reddit.com/r/hardware to get your daily fill of amd and intel stockholders fighting in the comments and inorganically boosted chinese tech news will now give you a login popup, so if you don't have an account and didn't want to make one you're forced to use the 'new' reddit UI which for anyone used to using old reddit is such a heinous downgrade it leads to melties like op abovehope this helps
It literally doesn't matter what you do, what alternative you make or where you go. Indians are likely pigeons and rats, they're only there because humans are there. If humanity packed their shit up and fucked off somewhere else pigeons, rats and Indians will follow.Same shit with advertising. Oh, enough people stopped watching ad supported media and decided to pay directly for their own content specifically to have no ads? Bam, have some ads! This happened to Netflix. People are not allowed to not watch ads, advertisers will slime their way into everything no matter where humans goSame with Indians, they will Jeet their way into everything and everywhere no matter where goes.
>>109707113>>109707113India's population is likely underestimated by 50% or more as well btw
>>109708091Yes, it's supposed to be like that, being lighter, faster, better, and more convenient for users is bad designhttps://youtu.be/T4Upf_B9RLQ?si=Ypd_uZtEr3O6_Lro
>>109708095What?India has had a national digital ID card system (Aadhaar) for like 10 years, and has every strategic incentive to lie about its population by claiming it is _larger_ than it really is, not smaller.
>>109708091I see. yes this helps immensely. >>109706499there probably isn't a good way to get those shit stains out of your briefs without washing twice, so you'll just have to get used to not being sure if that is fresh shit or compounding shit stains. is what it is, you chose wrong, now you go back.
>>109708117No Ramesh, India hasn't conducted a census since 1970 and even then they were accused of severely undercounting their population because western gibs to India were conditioned on curbing their cockroach breeding rates. At best, India can track births in a hospital where the family has requested a birth certificate. But the reality is the vast majority of Indians live in villages in the middle of bumfuck nowhere without any running water or electricity- and they're busy pumping out hundreds of millions of babies every nanosecond that go unaccounted for.Anyone can see the truth by watching videos of China's largest cities and comparing to videos from any part of India. On paper they have the same 1.4 billion number, but China looks like a ghost town compared to India.As a general rule for everyone, the truth is always the opposite of whatever Indians claim. When you see them spam INDIA BELOW REPLACEMENT SAAR TRUST ME SAAR everywhere, you know it's a lie.
>>109708117Its underestimated not lied about and the majority of the underestimation is going to be from India
ofc a thread about reddit is the only one active kek. didnt bumpevery poster here should end it all
>>109708210They're lying about the numbers of Indian migrants too. At the rates people are seeing them everywhere, even in the smallest towns in the middle of nowhere with 500 people.- there's no way the numbers are accurate. There must be at least 200 million Indians for the numbers to make sense.
let this thread die it doesn't belong here. OP is just going to have to sit on his shit stains.
Whenever I see an Indian thread, the SC1 Terran theme plays in my head
>>109708180>No RameshI am not an Indian, just a Burgercel pedant.>India hasn't conducted a census since 1970That's an outright lie, they conducted one in 2011 and are doing one as we speak.(much to Indian high-caste and Dravidian consternation, respectively, they're doing a comprehensive nationwide caste census for the first time since the Raj, and parliamentary seat reapportionment for the first time in 50 years. Maybe you confused it for that?)>ChinaYou do know that China is far ahead of India in terms of per capita infrastructural development, right? You won't see teeming Han crowds with rickshaws waddling among them if they're all in electric cars and HSR. India is still a shithole in many ways, no one can deny that. Apples to Oranges.>>109708210Is there any evidence for this underestimation? Excess power consumption? Food imports? Emissions? Any other Li Keqiang Index-style ancillary measures which don't match up with official population estimates?Or just an instaslop image from "Quarks Quisars" citing an unnamed "study"?
>>109706499
>>109706499They have. Remember voat? It was overrun with bots in like 2 months.
>>109706499you have to go back
>>109706499There's mainchan
>>109708227...if there are 1.5 billion Indians, and say ~half of them are of young-ish adult working age, and 1/4th of them are willing and able to migrate if allowed to do so, that's nearly 190 million immigrants, from India alone. That's nearly the number of White people in the United States, period.There don't have to be more Indians than their census claims exists in order for large numbers of them to crop up in Nowhere, Canada; the numbers line up.
>>109706499No one has the capacity to moderate such large websites and pay its bills except state/billionaire backed ones, which will make it gay and retarded as reddit. If you try to start a new platform it will either be empty or spammed with gore and illegal media by hobbyless retards and glowies until they shut it down. The only solution for such a problem is some kind of a decentralized p2p protocol but minus complexity so even a retarded normie or a grandma can use it.But that would never happen, just let it die.
>>109708339The problem is there not just popping up in the US, they're showing up in the most random places. And not just in the big cities near some tech companies. My point was that India has never completed a proper census, the numbers they claim about TFR will always be whatever makes India look more civilized- and that means lying about the number being lower than it really is.The majority of India has no running water or electricity. Their records are kept on paper and no one checks what the barely sentient government worker wrote down on that paper. India couldn't get an accurate population count even if it wanted to. What we know for sure is they lied about the numbers in 1970.
>>109707803You really believe that 100% of the population of china is on the internet? Like you really think that's real?
>>109708383They're not on our internet, they're firewalled away from us on their own internet. Smartest move the Chinese government ever made! Also the majority of Chinese would not be English speakers so they still wouldn't come infest English speaking websites the way Indians do.
>>109706917From experience, I can tell you that most of those indians or africans are locked in their own local net, they mostly interact and create content in their own language and for their own people. What (YOU) will never admit is that most of the internet and the real world downfall was mainly caused by white liberal women and fags, and those are the majority of redditors and mods, and even if those turdworlders caused some damage, it was by the help of those white liberal women and fags. This is for everything else, if you think moaning about jeets, niggers, and jews (which should be called Israelis btw, most of them don't even believe in judaism and only use it as a cover) will solve your problems, then you're a fool. The moment you take control of your own houses first, thus your women and children, then hope for a better world. But just blaming le ebil "Other" in 4channel is much easier. Here we are in here, the chuddiest forum and it's still shit, I'm sure another Hitler edit would solve this.
>>109707826I don't forget that they need to make any topic about their faggotry
>>109706499https://www.themotte.org/
>>109708393Chinese bots infest English websites instead. And wumao like you.
>>109706543What are you on about? Digg was bigger than reddit. Reddits popularity came AFTER Digg. After the v4 redesign.>reddit alternativeWhy do you even need reddit in the first place never mind an alternative? Even without the bots it's always had the biggest retards. Stick to dedicated forums for the subject you like. There is no good reason to use reddit for discussion. Though considering how this place is essentially reddit at this point I'm a bit of a hypocrite.
>>109706917Overall demopgrahics are not in any way representative of site demographics. Many countries like India, China, Korea mostly use websites in their own language. 4chan and reddit are majority american.
>>109706917honestly I doubt this is as exaggerated as you niggers claimyou have a gorillion african/jeets on the internet but none of them actually speak english or actually know the internet is far more than just youtube and whatsapp
Reddit keeps making me miserable about video games to the point I want to throw away all my stuff.
>>109706499Digg's back, or so I've heard.
Nobody has the desire nor the funds to make a better alternative. Forget about the infrastructure needed to keep it running.
>>109706830>get rid of indians and botsThere's a magical place we're not allowed to name that found a solution to this problem.
>>109709651>majorityplurality but not majority anymore. if you bet any given post is from an american you're be wrong more often than not
>>109708095>>109708180Did you know there are tens of millions more young indian males than females? This is not a country where most have access to medical abortions yet the newborn girls just keep disappearing by the millions. Now there is a ~100 M (and growing) horde of incel men who have no hope of ever finding a pairing who are committing the world's worst cases of gang rape all over India while simultaneously trying everything they can to get into your country. And many will succeed
>>109706499you mean something like lemmy?https://lemmy.zip/
>>109706561idk man, I learn more on 4chan and filter out shitposts like I filter out ads. The only difference is how neglected this site is (we should have like 3 times the boards we do now) but if you look there are still little gems on here.
>>109710415Reddit is very good at making people miserable.
>>109706499digg still existsslashdot still existshackernews still existslobsters still existspatriots.win still existsthey all suck, same as redditany site built with an updoot system becomes reddit or just a lesser reddit
>>109710718Any site that reaches critical mass of normoids just becomes shit, regardless of updooting.
>>109710415How do they make you miserable? What do they say about video games?
>>109710730I think it's the updoot design.It encodes enshitification right into the site.It gives the normgroid power to promote other normgroids.It gives them the power to silence anyone who isn't a normgroid.Here, you can hide a post, but you can't hide it for everyone, just yourself.There, you stick your head in the sand and make everyone else follow.
>>109710775True it does supercharge the normoidization but as you can see they have managed to do the same to this place without the need for updooting. It just took longer.
I fucking HATE reddit because it pollutes search engines with their AI-translated slop. Like every single non-English query I send is inevitably contaminated by Reddit posts translated into the query's language, and the translations aren't even that good.This shit is polluting the Internet like the Indians pollute their rivers.Uh and maybe you find something useful on Reddit, mostly some obscure GNU+Linux shit, you click on the link and you're hit by a "please login to read this thread" wall.What a joke of a platform.
>>109710747It's more the shit state of the industry but I don't want to be reminded of it constantly.
Used to fucking despise Reddit, but then I remember the current state of Xitter, filled with the brownest bait imaginable and all the third-world seething in one place. Crazy how a right-winger took over Twitter and somehow made it even worse than Reddit. Twitter these days make reddit look like a paradise
>>109706528the answer is simple.glass russia, india and all of south america.job done, internet fixed.
>>109710415that is just all of social media about anything you enjoy
>>109710467The only thing that comes to mind on that site is latinx and vtubers though. Not my cup of tea
>>109710775updoots are alright for stuff like stackexchange where you upvote answers to questions. But for general discussion it's terrible.
>>109711145>IndiaWhy
>>109711220>Why
>>109706499You're literally already on the alternate, retard.>inb4 REEEEEEEEEEEEDo not even try to pretend this place hasn't been wholesale invaded and taken over by redditors for the past 12 fucking years thanks to gaymergayte and the elections.>>109706561 being one of the many examples. Directly responsible for the massive decline in quality on this site. "hurr durr reddit is for serious discussion and 4chan is just for shitpostin" is precisely how every thread and discussion is just garbage being mixed with diarrhea and vomit, coupled with the other half of the reddit horde who think everything is srs bsnss and insists on making every discussion about politics and the culture war.Die.
